Custom Preview

Grasshopper
1

Hi,

I’m trying to make two meshes semi-transparent using Grasshopper’s Custom Preview. The problem is that you can’t see one mesh through the other. Even if I set the transparency to 100%, one mesh still covers the other.

When I bake the meshes directly into Rhino and adjust the transparency there, it works without any problem.

Is there a solution for this in Grasshopper?

I think this is a limitation of grasshopper because the objects are not actually in the scene. McNeel devs can correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the only way to get the desired outcome is to Bake it to Rhino.

Side note: This also causes limitation in Draw Order of drafting elements I believe. No way to have Draw Order but to Bake to Rhino.
